PMEA is pleased to once again sponsor a composition program for PMEA members and their students in conjunction with the 2025 PMEA Annual In-service Conference, April 10-12 at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in the Poconos. There are four categories for students (ES, MS, HS & PCMEA), two categories for members and an open track for all ages. Selected compositions will be featured during the annual conference.

The purpose of the composition program is to promote and encourage composers of all ages to create music and to explore the way that sounds are put together in an appropriate way. Many future composers are today’s music students and PMEA members, and we are striving to encourage everyone to try their hand at composing.

The window of opportunity to submit a composition is now closed. All applicants will receive feedback on their compositions. Expect notification in early February.
